What you're really paying for
Why 'design and development' is one cost, not two
Many Chittagong business owners fall into the same trap. They hire a designer who hands over a pretty Figma file, then scramble to find a developer to turn it into a working website. That is why, when I quote website design and development cost in Chittagong, design and build are the same line item. They are the same job, done by the same hands.
The split approach fails in a predictable way. The design looks great in the mockup and breaks once it is coded. Fonts shift, the mobile layout falls apart, and the contact form was never wired to anything. Now you are paying twice and refereeing two people who blame each other.
That is also why a real number scares people who have only collected vague WhatsApp quotes. A 'website' can mean a 5-page company profile. It can also mean a 40-page bilingual catalogue with a quote-request system. Those do not cost the same, and pretending they do is how projects blow up halfway.
So before I name a figure, I ask what the site has to do. How many pages? English only, or Bangla too? Do you need bKash or Nagad on it? Are you selling, or just being found? The scope sets the tier. The tier sets the price.
The tiers are 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. They map to real scope, not to how your office looks. Fifty thousand gets a clean, fast, mobile-first site for a focused business. That means a few well-built pages that load on port-city 4G and make you look legitimate. Ninety covers more pages and more structure. A growing Agrabad trader or GEC retailer needs that when buyers and overseas partners check them out.
One-fifty is for a serious content or catalogue build with bilingual depth. Truly custom work starts at 3,00,000 BDT. That means a portal, a booking engine or heavy integrations. If that is what you need, I will tell you plainly instead of padding a lower tier.
Payment is 50% to start and 50% on launch. There is no drip-feed of surprise charges and no holding your files hostage. The design-approval guarantee means I write no production code until you sign off on how it looks. You are not gambling 50% on a layout you have not seen. That is the point of one operator owning both halves: the cost you agree to is the cost you pay.
